I was doing chores outside this morning, and had a pebble in my shoe. Of course I ignored it to get things done, plus had garden soil on my hands. It kinda grew in irritation.
Has this happened to you?
Then when you get to take the shoe off, this little pebble comes out.
You know instantly, that’s the one.
But it’s almost comically small.
There’s got to be a metaphor in there somewhere.
I recall this “Pebble” song from my music-reviewing days. Back then i thought the singer was equating the persistent twinge of infatuation with a pebble placed purposely in one’s shoe, but now i see it might also be a spiritual metaphor đ
I put a pebble in my shoe
Every step I am with you.
I just stumble on to the
Beat of a child’s drum.
My heart is on the line.
Can all my wonders be true.
– Daniel Housman
